I have been loosing sleep because I did not have a proper backup of my pictures.  Really, I was quite worried.  I knew two people who had their hard drives crash, one was able to recover her stuff, the other, not so lucky.  Something had to be done. 

So for Christmas I bought myself an external hard drive.  A Western Digital "My Book" 750gb hard drive to be exact.  I got a great deal on it.  I was quickly able to copy all my picture files, music files, video files and all my other document files over in just minutes and barley made a dent in the hard drives capacity!  Finally I am able to sleep at night again!
